Talk:Pom Pom

Still disambiguous?

Hmm. Does the case fix get rid of this problem? Pom Pom is the character, pom pom is the email, right? Or is that way to confusing? Also, links to the page "Pom Pom" aren't directed here anymore. We need to fix this. Somehow. -- Tom 12:03, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

Case seems to be adequate enough to disambiguify something to the engine, but I don't think it's good enough for readers. Case-sensitivity would/will confuse a lot of people. I think we should stick with what we've got. -- JoeyDay 12:13, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

Oh right, I think it was the move that I was looking for. That works... But still, ideally, nothing should link here. They should all link to either Pom Pom (character) or pom pom (email). Would it be easier to have the pages be "Pom Pom" and "pom pom"? Wait, that's still confusing. I guess... Which type of confusion do we want then? -- Tom 12:19, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

I dunno. This case stuff is going to confuse some people, but I don't think it's unnecessarily complicated. -- JoeyDay

Okay, I'm not sure anyone will ever link to "pom pom (character)", so I deleted that. Nothing linked to it, and it just redirected to "Pom Pom (character)" I think we might be out thinking ourselves. What's going to happen when someone copies a page here? What will the links say? "PomPom" or ""StrongBadEmail/pom pom", right? So they are going to have to be changed either way... Should we change them to "Pom Pom (character)" and "pom pom (email)" or simply "Pom Pom" and "pom pom" I guess that's my question. -- Tom 12:34, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

I really think we should keep "Pom Pom (character)" and "pom pom (email)" because it will help people understand what they're looking at. If the name is exactly the same (even if the case is different) people will get confused. -- JoeyDay 12:49, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)
